However, it is now recognised that access to such lead molecules is poorly served not only by many current commercial libraries but also by the synthetic methods widely adopted within industry and many of those developed in academic laboratories. In this meeting, approaches to rectifying this issue will be presented both from academia and industry, with the hope of stimulating a broader recognition of, and solutions to, the challenges of lead-oriented synthesis.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #3366ff\"><strong>Meeting report:<\/strong><\/span> open in a <a href=\"http:\/\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/dial-a-molecule\/2015\/10\/01\/lead-oriented-synthesis-exploring-drug-relevant-chemical-diversity\/\" target=\"_blank\">new window<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #3366ff\"><strong>Program:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>09:45<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Registration and coffee<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>10:30<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Welcome and housekeeping<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><em>Prof. Adam Nelson (University of Leeds)<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>10:40<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>How synthetic chemistry can drive the discovery of drugs of the future<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><em>Dr Ian Churcher (GSK)<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>11:00<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Exploring 3D pharmaceutical space: lead-oriented and fragment-oriented synthesis\u00a0<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><em>Prof. Peter O&#8217;Brien (University of York)<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>11:40<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>LLAMA: An open-access tool to guide lead-oriented synthesis<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><em>Prof. Adam Nelson (University of Leeds) &amp;
